Generally speaking, chronic nephritis progresses slowly, accompanied by different degrees of renal function damage, and chronic nephritis may eventually develop into chronic renal failure.
In order to avoid the deterioration of the disease, it will have a greater impact on the body. Be sure to arrange your own schedule reasonably and do a good job in nursing chronic nephritis.
Got chronic nephritis, how to care? Here are four suggestions.
First of all, in terms of diet, we must pay attention to a diet with low salt, low fat and low purine. Low salt depends on whether the patient has edema, and the edema should be controlled below 3 grams per day. If the edema is not obvious, it can be appropriately relaxed to 6 grams. But six grams a day is a dose, which is very, very critical.
A low-fat diet is something that contains more fat, such as fat, which must be restricted.
A low purine diet is important because purine can lead to an increase in uric acid. Simple hyperuricemia is an independent risk factor for vascular sclerosis and heart, brain and kidney problems, and uric acid must be controlled to reach the standard. Then what contains more purine? Generally, the most common are some animal offal, beer, white wine, red wine, seafood, hot pot and soup.
Then be careful not to be too tired at ordinary times, because there are many metabolic wastes produced after fatigue, and these wastes will be excreted through the kidneys when discharged, which invisibly increases the burden on the kidneys. The other is also very important, so we must not use drugs indiscriminately, especially some Chinese medicines, unknown Chinese medicines, painkillers and antibiotics, because these drugs are harmful to renal tubulointerstitium.
There are many patients whose kidney problems are not very serious. After taking traditional Chinese medicine for a long time, they have functional problems, liver function problems, increased nocturia and decreased urine proportion. These are all caused by drugs, so this is very important. The other is the control of blood pressure, which must reach the standard, preferably below 130/80.
If you want to maintain nephritis, you should also pay special attention to prevent infection.
Bacterial or viral infection is the main cause of acute nephritis. Special attention should be paid to asymptomatic bacteriuria, pharyngolaryngitis, influenza, tracheobronchitis, etc., which can all lead to the aggravation of chronic nephritis symptoms.
Patients with nephritis should pay attention to regular review, and also take part in some exercises appropriately to keep a happy mood and not have too much pressure.
Chronic nephritis is not the end of the world. Instead, do a good job of maintenance. Only by actively dealing with nephritis can we better help nephritis recover.
